When other's are just ticking you off, when you just cannot keep it in any longer, and you have already tried and tried; or you find something so funny but posting it topically would interrupt a conversation; OR you feel like testing your own compassionate quotient by wording it in a way so as NOT to offend;
Instead of logging out, post it here......
Here is an example: Some posts are getting soooo long that no one reads them. Ever. But one day, you find yourself bored out of your mind, and you read, and read, and read. Only to discover that person, a part of the community here, may need help that you cannot give. You want to help, but you are prevented. So, say it all here. Air concerns, but be extremely kind-because everyone you meet is fighting an uphill battle.
Understand?
If it is too long, no one will read it.
Yesterday, I asked mom what she wanted for her upcoming birthday - she replied $1,000
In thinking about it, $1,000 split between mom's two other kids divided by the 19 months she's been at hoca with each only visiting her maybe 4 times under duress comes out to about $25 a month each -
I'll be sending Frick and Frack mom's request by mail since now neither respond to my texts - Bozos 😼
I dream of the day I get to stick them with mom's care, and not help out. ;-) Not really, but it would be fitting.
Gladimhere has the best, calling them the twisteds 1 and 2.
Ts1 and Ts2 for short.
Happy Birthday to the Viking!
On one thread, Cwillie has asked people to "give it a rest". And I agree with Cwillie, " the less said, the better."
Some posters are out of line, as well as the OP, imo.
I wish they would all stop embarrassing themselves.
Sadly, I think this is my family as well. I am adopting Cwillie's "the less said, the better."
I know I am not an orphan but it often feels like it with the siblings I have. Thank goodness for carbs.:-)

I'm right there with ya! Sorry that your siblings aren't any help, either. My husband's brother is IN THE MEDICAL FIELD, but my husband regularly gets asked, "Are you an only child?" Sigh.
LOL about the carbs! Yep! And wine. Lots of wine. (Are we allowed to say that?)
Carbs and a wicked humor helps many a stressful night
Welcome, and welcome to this thread, where your opinions count. You can say anything that the AC admins allow.
Is wine a carb?
And...some wine is low-carb. :) :) Lol!

You will be welcome on those threads too.
The casually dressed person did not identify that they were shooting a movie.
The second person with a walkie talkie, crouching, directed us to pull into the parking place and wait, because there was going to be gunfire!
Lol. I said no, and turned the car around, slowly, and left the way we came in.
Say what? Gunfire? In light of the recent mass shooting, a bit scary, a bit insensitive for real people in the neighborhood?
Missing from this entire scenario, was the required notices posted in the nearby neighborhood re: Movie shoot! Gunfire will be fake.
Take 3!
I still can't believe the news coming out of Vegas. My heart just breaks for everyone.
But I meant the ordinance requirements to post a door-knob notice on affected homes in the area.
Making movies and t.v. series brings revenue to the city, but it can also burden the resources. For example, a plane crash in the hills goes out on police scanner, there is a 911 response, a search for the downed plane, and an hour later, Oh, they were making a movie.
Things are bad in the world, in Vegas, and in our own circle of friends.
So bad, we need to guard our hearts and minds.
Caregivers are doing just that by distracting others with food and garden stories.
That is a good thing, imo.
Thanks for Garden Artist, and MsMadge! Examples of rising above the despair.
Although I don't understand the science fully, when people in general start behaving even differently, not themselves, or badly, I go try looking up sun, moon, and earth events for an explanation. In the past 3 days, people were weird! Both on the forum (sorry), and out there, (driving). Has anyone noticed?
I found this CME- Coronal Mass Ejection on the Sun affecting earth:
"LATEST SOLAR NEWS:
(Nov 14 1237UTC) The large CME that erupted with the destabilizing filament 3 days go swept past earth this morning. While it has only produced minor activity in earth’s magnetic field, a coronal hole stream impact is expected today and this double-event could drive stronger storms than either would have produced individually." end quote.
So there you have it! Just wanting to explore. I am not a conspiracy theorist, not a prepper, and not a Coast-to-Coast fan, (although I have listened). However, I believe there is a correlation between human behaviors and say, for example, the full moon.
Maybe even the New Moon......that takes care of human behaviors all month, thanks!
Maybe animal behaviors too!
Other people are behaving worse than me.

And I erased the rest of my post, because it was about other people. :-)
